Sick. Wonder how many units have moved thanks to your sound demonstrations. 
I’d wager at least a couple dozen.

I’m confused about this.
How does playing the same note use 1 voice? Are you locking the voice?
I thought the DN2 will allocate a voice per key press, and lock it during the hold, upon release it hits the sustain which keeps playing on the voice but may be overtaken at some point with voice stealing.
So my understanding when you press the note 6 times is you still use 6 voices, but the DN had allocated them across each of its 16 available slots.
Is this wrong?
It will use two voices max if there is a bit overlap from the last note’s release.
I just tried to make a point is that this orchestra of sound is just one note of one sound (thanks to fm tone’s 4 operators and comb.) 
[or in other words, 15 voices still available]

After 6 months of owning a digitone 2 I think I’m personally at the point where I consider it not only the best elektron device yet but one of my favourite synthesizers of all time ,I completely love its sound ,workflow and features ,the note edit is absolutely amazing and the layering features are just brilliant
It’s so addictive ,I’m probably heading for a divorce 
I spent more time with it than the other half

I start to believe the same, however it‘s just me making music and sharing the joy I have. I like to remind, I am not sponsored, and contrary to some youtubers, I‘ve never received a synth for free to make a video about it. I‘m planning to shift more to puting my music on albums, which I hope will move in one way or another

Why! It’s a beast!
the answer to your question is yes. elektron continue to blow me away. at this point, theyve literally provided me with everything ive asked for aside from a direct100% dream-accurate octa 3 that’s tailored specifically to me. but in a way theyve provided things ive wanted even more than that
i have begged in this forum for years for a box that had a built in master analog heat saturation circuit, physical modelling, additive synthesis, fm, supersaw, and analog monosynth in a single box with drums and they gave us the syntakt which has even better version of every Rytm machine as well AND better analog monosynth machines. and now you can even sample in it. thats a full hybrid groovebox
i also asked for a dn2 with more tracks + polyphony with the ability to sequence as many midi tracks as i wanted with more than 8 note polyphony (we got 16 tracks of 16 note polyphony which is unreal), deeper/improved fm, percussion synthesis, and va machines with a compressor. also a full song-production box with everything youd need to make full tracks for days
i also asked for them to do granular and wavetable synthesis, polyphonic sampling, and i specifically asked for the mutable (warps) style fx (granular delays, freq shifter, filterbank, a saturator, roland style tape fx, spectral freeze, filterbank - i also asked for a non-vocal oriented vocoder where we could modulate one voice with another, but we’re close enough). again, a complete sound design lab with infinite fx processing and routing and resampling capability with no real cap on storage and real polyphony. i still cant believe how much they’ve given us based on the feedback theyve gotten in the feature request and “whats next for elektron” threads
they’ve created multiple machines ive dreamt about owning. but the digitone 2 is really the one that blows me away. i just got a tonverk, and so far i am in awe. but its a learning curve and most of my muscle memory doesnt translate over yet. to have 16 synths with drums with a comp, with individual dedicated partial layers and granular noise and filters and a comb filter and such a hi fi sound with ring mod and hard sync and other previously only found in the A4 or rytm’s more basic synth machines in a box like this still feels unbelievable to me. i’ve been making the most beautiful evolving patches. havent had much time to really create complex patterns and arrangements with it, but it feels like the most limitless. and since the dn has always been the primary sequencing brain of my dawless setup, i couldnt have asked for a better machine from them. i can have 16 midi tracks of 16 note polyphony if i wanted. or 12 midi tracks and 4 for drums. it sounds narcissistic but i feel like elektron exists to fulfill my wildest fantasies at this point

Now if we could just have a tiny bit of polyphony on the Syntakt, or FX unit+FX tracks+SP_TWINSHOT on the Digitone2 then we could choose one and be happy.
(Or get both… both would still have their own character and appeal to different people and/or different moods. Neither would feel like they’ve been deliberately limited for marketing reasons)
Note to Elektron: Yes, I’d pay $1500 for a “Synverk”, a Syntakt 1.4 combined with a DN2 in a Tonverk-size box - Syntakt sound/FX with Digitone track count/polyphony/machines, and more buttons.
(I’d want proper LEDs to show the sequencer page though - none of that microscopic on-screen rubbish)

im ok with using the wavetable machine on the TV for synthesis. its pretty powerful for glitching out granular-style sounds from loading samples as wavetables and pitching them down, then re-pitching with chrono pitch. it definitely doesnt feel like a full synth to me though, and i agree about the sequencer leds 100%
it would be cool to have an all-in one, but i dont mind having multiple elektrons

Brilliant sound design.
How does receiving updates work? Are we notified via email that we used to purchase from?
What is the recommendation to install the later patches? Will it have any impact on previous songs in any way?
Really dig the DigiFAM patches quite a lot.
